Have you ever heard of the saying, \"If you want a friend, be one.\" What does it mean? There are many different things that you can do to make friends. You may find out what they are if you watch someone make friends.

Here is how one new teacher made friends with the students in her class on the first day of the school. When the bell rang, the teacher smiled at all the students. Then she said,\" Good morning. How nice it is to have all of you in my class this year! I want to know each of you very much. I am sure we will enjoy working together.\"

The teacher smiled, used a pleasant voice, and acted in a friendly way. She told the students her name and wrote it on the blackboard. Then she told them something she liked to do and hoped to do with them during the year. The students knew that she liked many of the things they liked. Everyone felt that she meant what she said. Each of them wanted to know her better and be her friend.

Then she let the students tell something about themselves. So they felt that the teacher knew them. Could you make friends as the teacher did?

How do you get to know your classmates? One way is to find out more about them. During the break you can talk to them. You may ask them their names and the names of the schools they went to last year. They want to know about you, too. You may tell them about your interests or your holiday experiences. It is often easy to be friends with whom people have the same interests and play the same games. As you talk, the others may think,\" I like to do the same things you do. It would be fun to be friends with you.\"

Remember! Just talking together in a friendly way is one good way to make friends. 根据短文内容，判断正（Ｔ）误（Ｆ）

33. If you want to make friends with others, you should talk with them to have dinner with you and play games with you after class.

\"Cool\" is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that

is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.

\"Cool\" can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, \"It's cool. \"You may think, \"He's so cool, \"when you see your favorite footballer. We all maximize(扩大) the meaning of \"cool\". You can use it instead of many words such as \"new\" or \"surprising\". Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall(瀑布) they had visited.

On one student's paper was just the one sentence, \"It's so cool. \" Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt. But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏) of words. Without \"cool\credibility(可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word \"cool\"? I can. And I think they are also very cool. 根据短文内容，选择正确答案(10分)

Hi! My name's Wang Mang. I'm fifteen years old, and I'm a Grade 3 student in Shangjing in the year 2053!

I expect you find that pretty hard to believe. Let me explain. This book is a journal I wrote last month for a very special competition. I won the first prize, which was that my book would become part of the first ever experiment in time travel. It would be put in a time capsule to be sent back almost fifty years into the past. So, if everything went according to the plan, you should be reading this in about the year 2005.

Do you know what time capsules are? They are usually containers made of some very strong material－so strong that it should last for hundreds or thousands of years without being destroyed. Inside these containers, you put things that are typical of the place in which you live. For example, in 2005 you might put a copy of a popular comic, a CD by a famous musician, videos of television programs－all sorts of things. The idea is that when people in another century open up the time capsule. They'll be able to see what life was like in the past.

Until now, all time capsules have been left for people in the future to find. This one is the first that has been sent from the future to the past. I don't understand how it's going to be done, but I think it's a really cool idea. If it works, my own grandparents will be able to read this when they were secondary school students! But if my grandparents did read this, why haven't they ever mentioned it to me?

A. hundreds or thousands of years old B. made by people in another century
